Iran War Stalls Peace Negotiations

The conflict between Washington and Tehran has entered a volatile new phase characterized by a fragile ceasefire and intensifying naval confrontations.

President Donald Trump has indefinitely extended the truce at Pakistan's request, yet Iran maintains that the ongoing U.S. naval blockade constitutes a flagrant breach of commitments.

Global energy markets remain on edge as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual standstill, driving Brent crude prices above $100 per barrel.

Tehran's leadership remains internally divided on a unified peace proposal, further complicating the path toward a formal resolution.
